Atlanta Journal-Constitution/PNC Bank Community Forum: Regionalism

What does regionalism look like in metro Atlanta? Transportation. Air quality. Water. These issues aren’t unique to Cobb County, Peachtree City or Atlanta. They’re regional issues that affect everyone. However, efforts to create and sustain regional approaches to big challenges have fallen short.
For example, many saw the failure of last year’s transportation sales tax referendum as a failure of metro Atlanta’s fragmented communities to work together as a region. How can metro Atlanta’s cities and… Show more counties work together for the common good? Do fiercely independent counties even want to strive toward regionalism? Is smaller better in terms of cooperation? Or do we just need to grow up and think across borders?
Light refreshments begin at 6:30pm followed by program at 7. Complimentary Parking will be provided.
